Patent GB-190817258-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Mine Skips, Cages and the like.
Inventor: SPRY JAMES
Filed: 1908-08-17
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 17,258. Spry, J. Aug. 17. Safety suspending-apparatus.-The safety suspending-apparatus for mine cages &c. described in Specification No. 408, A.D. 1907, is modified more especially for use with vehicles traversing an inclined track. The winding-cable 1 is attached to the drawrod 2 which slides under the action of a spring in the transverse member 3 of the cage framework. The end of the draw-bar is connected to a pivoted arm 8 carrying a hook 11 over which is fitted one end of a bolt 12, the other end of which serves normally to support a catch frame, shown in detail in Fig. 4. This frame comprises top and bottom members 18, connected near their centres by parallel bars 19 of Z-section. The catch frame is pivoted at its rear end to plates 23, sliding in brackets 25 on the cage bottom. At each end of the members 18 is fixed a box-shaped casting 26 within which is slidably mounted a dog 27, forced outwards by a spring 32 but normally retained in position by a stop 37. These stops form part of flaps 33, pivoted to the members 18 and having their ends 36 bent over so as to lie immediately over the rails 14. Between the longitudinal members 19 are arranged one or more hooked catches 38, pivoted to the forks of a bar 40, which form slides for a cross-head attached by a rod 43 to an eye 44. In the event of the winding-cable breaking, the spring 6 forces back the arm 8 and withdraws the supporting-bolt 12. The catch frame then falls on to the track, the catch 38 engaging the sleepers &c., and the ends of the flaps 33 falling on to the rails and being lifted thereby. The bolts 27 are forced outwards by springs 32 and prevent the catch frame from rising off the track by engaging beneath the rail-heads. The eye 44, which has a buffer connexion to the catch 38, is coupled by a flat rope 45 to brake apparatus, Fig. 16, carried on the vehicle. Side plates 50 and intermediate plates 66 faced with wood, are rigidly connected by bolts 51 and guide-rods 64. A drum 55<a>, on which the rope 45 is wound, is mounted between the brake plates 66 on a squared portion of a shaft 54, which is threaded at part of its length. Nuts 58 engaging the screwed shafts are connected by keys to pressure plates 57, which slide on the guide-rods 64 and act through springs 72 on the brake plates. When the hooked catch 38 engages the sleepers of the track, the catch frame is automatically detached from the cage, and the rope 45 rotates the brake drum 55a. This causes the pressure plates 57 to approach each other and to act with an increasing pressure on the drum, thereby gradually bringing the cage to rest.

Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 23,997. Faries, R. March 26, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Check valves; safety-valves.-The inflating-valve of a pneumatic tyre is attached to the air-tube by means of an elastic tube, the extension of which as the pressure increases serves to measure the pressure. The valve casing 1 is externally, screw threaded for a sleeve 6, upon which is screwed the usual cap 5 ; in this way the upper-part of the cap may be adjusted at various distances from the top of the valve stem 11. A valve 8 of the usual form is employed, being kept up by..the spring 10 unless depressed by entering air ; the valve mechanism is connected with the interior of the air-tube by a tube 12 of india-rubber; of which the expanded end 12<a> is bent over and clamped to the tyre by means of the foot 2 of the valve casing and the usual nut and washer. At the opposite end this tube is attached to the valve mechanism 7, and also indirectly to a tube 17 projecting downwards. Two springs 18, 19 control the outward movement of the valve parts ; both are firmly attached to the airtube and rim, the upper end of one being attached to the tube 17, while the other closely surrounds the tube 12 and is attached at its upper end to the valve mechanism. Graduations upon the tube 17 may be read against the bevelled edge of the casing 1. When the inflating-valve cap 23 is not employed, contact of the upper end of the valve stem 11 with the plug 24 at the top of the outer cap opens the valve and releases the pressure. Alternatively an independent adjustable relief valve may be screwed upon the outer end of the valve stem and must be removed for inflation.

Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 26,711. Williams, J. R., Bradiey, H. W., and Bradley, B. Dec. 9. Copper and zinc, obtaining; cells; electrodes.-In an electrolytic process for obtaining zinc and copper from complex ores and the like, cleaning of the cell is facilitated by making the electrodes removable, and a high current density may be used by spacing the electrodes apart and providing the anodes with protecting-shields around their edges. In the construction of cell shown, the electrodes are arranged vertically in a box a, the cathodes b having lugs c, which are supported on partitions e extending the whole width of the cell and dividing off spaces at the ends, liquid being admitted into one space and withdrawn from the other. Holes p in the partitions allow the circulation of liquid. The cathodes rest on lead plates d connected to bus-bars f. The anodes g are mounted in pairs on each side of the cathodes, and are supported by the prongs h of fork-shaped pieces j, which act as distance-pieces and are assisted by other pieces l. These distance-pieces are supported on wooden rails extending across the cell, and to prevent feathering the edges may be protected by grooved strips or covering-pieces. The side edges of the anodes fit into vertical rails o grooved to receive them, and these rails are formed with inclined surfaces to guide the cathodes into position. In some cases the anodes may be shorter than the cathodes. The anodes are lead plates which may be grooved to increase their surface. The zinc is conveniently deposited on galvanized iron electrodes from which it is stripped by dipping into molten zinc, or if the cathodes are of zinc the whole may be melted. According to the Provisional Specification, the anode consists of a lead plate covering the bottom of the cell, and the cathode comprises a series of rods supported by a block at one end, and bent twice at rightangles at the other end to dip into a mercury trough. This construction allows each rod to be turned so that different parts of its surface may be brought opposite the anode.
